Sommario/riassunto

Ice cream as we recognize it today has been in existence for at least 300 years, though its origins probably go much further back in time. Though no one knows who invented ice cream, the first ice cream making machine was invented by Nancy Johnson, of Philadelphia, in the 1840s. The Science of Ice Cream begins with an introductory chapter on the history of ice cream. Subsequent chapters outline the physical chemistry underlying its manufacture, describe the ingredients and industrial production of ice cream and ice cream products respectively, detail the wide range of different physical and se

Sommario/riassunto

Cet ouvrage retrace le parcours sinueux et l’échec de la sociobiologie humaine, cette théorie pseudo-scientifique qui anima les débats entre 1975 et 1985 et s’inscrivit comme idéologie scientiste dans l’ensemble des théories sur la nature humaine. Partant d’une analyse épistémologique des concepts de la sociobiologie humaine et de la sociobiologie animale, l’auteur établit la filiation historique de ceux-ci, des modèles et des idées qui les ont historiquement justifiés et de celles qui les justifient encore actuellement, et montre que cette théorie ne saurait prétendre à une institutionnalisation complète ni à aucune reconnaissance de la part du monde scientifique.  This volume traces the tortuous path and failure of human socio-biology, the pseudo-scientific theory which sparked debate between 1975 and 1985 and which established itself as a scientistic ideology amongst the body of theories on human nature. Starting from an epistemological analysis of the concepts of human socio-biology and animal socio-biology, the author establishes a historical link between them, the models and ideas which have justified them historically and those which still justify them, and shows that this theory cannot claim to be completely institutionalised or have achieved any recognition in scientific circles.
